My 21 month free pass of eating whatever I want is drawing to an end. I've officially started the weaning process and the extra calories burned while breastfeeding will be drawing to a close. So I joined a gym and to help keep me accountable, I'm going to add a counter to track my visits.

My goals are to tone and increase my strength and endurance. Maybe one day my stomach will be flat again :)

In latest family news, we are looking to get the ball rolling on our 1976 Bronco restoration project! One decision that seems to be dividing our family is the paint color choice. No matter what exterior color we go with, the hard top will be painted the same color as the body and we will have an additional black soft top (so try to imagine the burgundy Bronco without the white top pictured). We are also going to go with a family cage (the roll bars on top of the Bronco) like the one pictured in green.

So the choices are....A silvery blueBurgundy (minus the white top)or a dark green.Vote for your favorite in the poll to the right and feel free to leave any comments!

This very talented mom was the inspiration for the simple "pillowcase" dress that Lillie is wearing below. I made it during her afternoon nap and she wore it around the house for the evening. What a darling little dress!

What color should we paint the Bronco?
